GraphQL, a data query language that provides an alternative to REST and ad-hoc webservice architectures, is the most revolutionary technology for data fetching since Ajax. Just as React has changed the way web developers approach UI, GraphQL will change the way web developers work with data over HTTP. This practical guide simplifies the process of getting started with this language.

Alex Banks and Eve Porcello, software engineers/architects and instructors, start with an overview of graph theory to provide a solid understanding of the powerful graph data structure. Youll then learn about GraphQL types, as well as how to build a schema to describe your API. This book also includes an overview of Apollo and Relay, two popular frameworks that are used to connect GraphQL to your user interface.

Preface
Acknowledgments

This book would not be a book without the help of many phenomenal people. It started with the idea from Ally MacDonald, our editor for Learning React, who encouraged us to write Learning GraphQL. We were then very lucky to get to work with Alicia Young, who shepherded the book to its printing. Thanks to Justin Billing, Melanie Yarbrough, and Chris Edwards who sanded off all of the rough edges during an extremely thorough production edit.

Throughout the process, we were fortunate to get feedback from Peggy Rayzis and Sashko Stubailo from the Apollo team who shared their insights and hot tips about the latest features. Thanks also to Adam Rackis, Garrett McCullough, and Shivi Singh, who were excellent technical editors.

We wrote this book about GraphQL because we love GraphQL. We think you will too.

Chapter 1. Welcome to GraphQL

Before the Queen of England made him a knight, Tim Berners-Lee was aprogrammer. He worked at CERN, the European particle physics laboratoryin Switzerland, and was surrounded by a swath of talented researchers.Berners-Lee wanted to help his colleagues share their ideas, so hedecided to create a network in which scientists could post and updateinformation. The project eventually became the first web server and thefirst web client, and the WorldWideWeb browser (later renamed Nexus) was rolled out at CERN in December 1990.

With his project, Berners-Lee made it possible for researchers to viewand update web content on their own computers. WorldWideWeb was HTML,URLs, a browser, and a WYSIWYG interface in which to update content.

Today, the internet isnt just HTML in a browser. The internet islaptops. Its wrist watches. Its smartphones. Its a radio-frequency identification (RFID) chip in yourski lift ticket. Its a robot that feeds your cat treats while youre out oftown.
